New York Magazine Declares Harris Has ‘Reached an Unparalleled Low Point’

Amid questions about whether President Joe Biden will run again in 2024, a new article is pointing out a “conundrum” that Democrats face involving Vice President 👤Kamala Harris.

A piece by Gabriel Debenedetti, titled “The Kamala Conundrum,” and published by New York Magazine states, “Political news rarely gets much grimmer than it did for Joe Biden on July 26, when he was greeted by a surprise poll showing that, were he to run again in a contested primary in New Hampshire, he might command less than one-fifth of the vote.”

“It was a far-fetched hypothetical — the likes of Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren won’t challenge him if he runs for reelection — but the dearth of support for a sitting president was still galling,” it continued.

However, Debenedetti writes, “And yet, improbably, the news was even worse for his presumptive heir: 👤Kamala Harris was all the way down in the single digits.”

“The vice-presidency is, by definition, a nearly impossible job. There’s the prestige and the ‘one heartbeat away’ of it all but few defined responsibilities and political pitfalls at every turn. Eighteen months in, thanks to a combination of Biden’s age and unpopularity, the lingering pandemic and punishing inflation, a relentless opposition, and — most visibly — her own struggles to communicate a satisfactory role for herself, Harris has reached an unparalleled low point,” he wrote.

He suggested that part of Harris’ struggles may be attributed to “the enormous expectations placed on her when Biden thought he was selecting the future leader of a vibrant, thriving post-Trump Democratic Party.”
